Munsch’s The Paper Bag Princess flips the fairy tale on its crown. When a dragon burns down her castle and kidnaps her prince, Princess Elizabeth doesn’t wait to be rescued — she puts on a paper bag and does the saving herself. With sharp humor and unshakable confidence, she redefines what “happily ever after” looks like. It’s a story about courage, cleverness, and knowing your worth — no tiara required.
